I am in the process of migrating/upgrading our single server Enterprise 10.9.1 on Windows Server 2016 software to a multi-machine Enterprise 11.5 installed on Windows Server 2025. While doing so, I'd like to update our SDE connections to 'best practices' (as I understand them - it's all a bit daunting).  We have SQL Server 16 on a Windows Server 2022 Datacenter. There are 3 full-time GIS users who access the EGDBs regularly. All of us need the ability to read, write, and publish services from the EGDBs. Currently, we all access the 10.9.1 EGDBs as SDEADMIN. My thought process is that I should create new EGDBs at the 11.5 version using the SDEADMIN and then run the Create Database User tool to add the 3 GIS users. Then my GIS Team can connect to the new EGDBs as individuals instead of sharing the SDEADMIN account. But, that isn't working for me...  😞 I've created an EGDB, created the Database User, and can connect to the EGDB using OS authentication. But then my users can't add or edit items in the EGDB. I poked around enough to figure out how to add each user to a feature class and give them privileges, but I've got nearly 500 feature classes to migrate to the new EGDB. No one has the time or patience to edit those privileges on each FC every time one is added, let alone to all of them at once. Is there a way to set permissions/privileges at the EGDB level?  Does anyone have a handy flow chart of how the 'best practices' work together? Or an explanatory video? I've got so many tabs open right now I'm completely lost. It took me three hours to find this group! Any help would be *greatly* appreciated! ... View more

I would like to use Survey123 in the field to collect information and then schedule a follow-up appointment.  How can I create a question that looks at a calendar and then only allows the available time slots to be chosen? It could be like a dynamic list, but from a calendar rather than a list. I don't want the same time slot to be chosen multiple times. Suggestions? ... View more

I've created a Custom URL in a webmap to pass attributes and the geometry of a line feature into Survey123. I have successfully passed the attributes, but the geometry is failing to load in Survey123. It is not a multipart line, and most have three or fewer vertices. arcgis-survey123://?itemID=d018656fcab94a9c886edfb864f7536e&field:modelguid={wm_ElementGuid}&conductor={expression/expr0} I am using the following code to get the geometry data: It's from this post: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/survey123-with-collector-set-geotrace/m-p/784059#M6798 @JamesTedrick is there a trick or step I'm missing? ...
